Yeh it sux when people take your hard work and claim it as their own. Its a shame theres not really a lot we can do about it either. All the skins would need to be encrypted or something, which would probably be a bad idea anyway.

What I don't understand is when people download a skin with your name on, and the only thing they do is remove your name and race with it. I mean wtf?

That part of the front can't be skinned

Great work Garph.

Glad I could be some help

Here's Michael Schumacher's 1995 F1 championship winning car...

Benetton B195
I managed to find some good reference pics, so its got all the correct sponsors, etc

Enjoy!

First post updated with new links.

All 22 driver numbers are now available Midland is the only generic skin, they don't put the number on the nose.

Have fun.

Fuel measured in volume of an average Sheep in Belgium for S3!!!!!!

Yep 90% are from brandsoftheworld. 10% are made by me using vectors, using photos as reference.
The midland skins was a bit of a nightmare, hardly any of the logos are on brandsoftheworld. It helps having 2000+ fonts when creating the logos yourself.

Quote from MR_B :

Side note, The Clean Racers Club would like to host your skin set for others to download also.
Would you be happy with this?

Replied to your pm, but I'll reply here too.
"Feel free to post this .zip file on any other LFS related website"

The more places its available for ppl to download, the happier I am.

Thanks every1 for positive feedback.

Here's 3 Non-Tobacco skins I've just finished.
I think these are the only teams that have to change liveries to remove tobacco sponsors.

Knight_Atack: Sorry if it looks like I stole your idea, I've had these in mind for a while

Enjoy!

[Edit] Updated Honda skin, thanks to Knight_Atack for pointing out a little error.

Another skin is born
Red Bull Racing up this time...

Enjoy

Just one more skin til I'm done...

I'll combine them into a pack when they are all done. 2 more to go yet

Here's the Renault...

I'm really happy with how this one has turned out

Enjoy!

Yeh all F1 skins have been made by now and are posted in this thread. Only the Renault, Red Bull and Midland have not been made by me, and I plan on making those 3 in that order.
We need a nice skin pack with all 2048 skins

Thanks for all the comments guys. I wouldn't have spent the time making them if I didn't know how much its appeciated.
Next up is Renault...

XCNuse: No? I've never seen it with 2 I's in wings. Thats based on both launch shots and the most recent race photos (not San marino where they replaced it with Italian)

Matrixi: Simply awesome job I was gonna do that myself after I finished my skins, but now I wont have to. Both skins have now replaced the originals

Ok its ready. Scuderia Toro Rosso...

I was gonna post this one at 1024x1024. The 2048 version doesn't add much quality wise, I had to resize the bull larger to make it fit on the 2048. So only the logos benefit, which are few and far between on this skin. But heres the 2048 anyway, for continuity purposes.

Overall I'm not totally pleased with the outcome, but its the best I can do until Red Bull release a nice high res clean pic of the bull. Can't wait til they do.
But until then, Enjoy

Just a quick sneak preview before I go to bed.

I'll release it tomorrow

They look great

My only suggestion would be to make the Bridgestone plain white, and put Potenza on one side, like the F1 tyres.

I use map_info resized to 2048. Then reduce opacity to around 50%.

The next one has arrived

This time its the brand new for this weekend Super Aguri. I think this car looks great compared to the last few races. Such a lovely flowing design.

I need some help to finalise the skin completely. Please could somebody help me find the 3 japanese symbols which are situated next to 'BORN IN JAPAN'. I've improvised until I get some better photos.

As always, Enjoy.

Photoshop and Paint Sho Pro both use vectors too.
If you insist on using illustrator I'm sure theres a way you can just start a blank 1024x1024 image, and import a jpg template as a guide for painting.

Me again

Toyota's turn to make an appearance on servers near you.

I've spent lots of hours today getting this right. The red spiky bits don't look too great on the skinfile but its pretty accurate on the car.
Jpeg artifacts don't help much with lots of red either.

Anyway, enjoy

Ok done some more investigating.
Just recorded a video at 30fps. Each freeze lasts 6 frames, so 0.2 secs. BUT the odd thing is that the race timer does not skip any time after the freeze.
I'll list some times to explain. Each line is the time recorded on each screen dump recorded at 30fps. It was during qualifying so time was counting down.

42:28.99
42:28.95
42:28.92
42:28.88
42:28.85
42:28.85
42:28.85
42:28.85
42:28.85
42:28.85
42:28.81
42:28.78

You can see my screen froze on .85 for 6 frames, but surely you would expect the clock to be showing close to .65 when it resumes 6 frames later.
The only explanation I can see is that the server is freezing, therefore every1 should be getting the same thing I'm seeing.

/baffled

Also ruled out the following:
- Window mode
- Blocked Messages
- Auto download off
- Maximum frame rate
- Spectating instead of driving
- Zone alarm / AV software off

Freezes still occur.
